- M.O. Berger, sawdustreview.wordpress.org
There are some big ideas here. Probably too big, but the effort is inspirational in itself.

The ideas have to do with architecture - the information architecture of... [more]

yes - i visited the Serpentine Gallery a few weeks ago, intending to pop in for a cursory look but remained for an hour or so revisitng former rooms and works and taking sneaky pictures . the exhibtion is a great multi-media showcase of emerging indian art and is strongly recommended.
